Nicholson 11748NN Round File 6 Inches Single Cut

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 11748NN is a 6-inch American-pattern round file designed for material removal, deburring, and shaping in metal, wood, and plastic applications. It features a single cut pattern at a second cut coarseness, which produces a moderate surface finish suitable for general filing work. The tang end allows secure mounting in a compatible file handle. At 0.07 pounds, this is a lightweight hand tool sized for precision work in tight or contoured spaces. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople keep this style of file on hand for everyday fitting and finishing tasks.

This round file is used when a worker needs to enlarge or clean up a round opening, smooth the bore of a fitting, or refine a curved profile on sheet metal, pipe, or structural material. The 6-inch cut length and 1/4-inch diameter make it practical for close-quarters work where a larger file would not fit. It is a standard trade tool found in service kits across the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

This is a hand tool requiring no electrical shutoff or system isolation before use. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal or plastic. Use a properly fitted handle on the tang before applying working pressure to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect the file for cracks or worn teeth before each use and replace when cut efficiency drops.
